If you were in charge of a Batman Beyond movie, what would you do? Who would you cast? Who would you chose to be the villain(s)? What would be the plot? It would be up to you.

That is a lot to ask. For a movie, I wouldn't know whether to do an Epilogue story, or a becoming Batman Beyond thing. Maybe both could work out well. I think the Jokerz need to be in there. I would like to incorporate the splicing into a movie as well. The Blight story arch was really good too. I am going to have to keep updating as I think of new ideas.

[shadow=purple,left,300]Well, it'd be an origin story. Half of it, I think, would be Bruce's final days as Batman. The second half would involve Terry becoming the new Batman- he wouldn't appear as Batman until the end of the movie. Most likely, he'd go up against Blight.
I'd also go beyond (no pun intended) the series and incorporate Bruce training Terry. I don't know if the Jokerz would be involved, but I could definitely see the Royal Flush Gang instead.
As for casting... I don't know who I'd pick. It's tough choice.[/shadow]

I would have the first hour be like REBIRTH, then just go from there. I would have Blight as the main villain, and have a secondary villain working for him like Shriek, Inque, or Spellbinder.
For Terry, I would cast Tobey Maguire. I know, he's Spider-Man, but I can't picture any one else as Terry. For Wayne, Clint Eastwood. We all think if they did a DKR, he would be Batman, so why not Beyond? For Dana, I would cast the girl who played Cindy in the 'Scary Movie' movies. For Blight, it would have to be Bruce Willis. Not sure why, but I liked him in Sin City.

I would like to see a tweaked version of Rebirth. As for cast: Bruce= Eastwood would be great I suppose but how about Ed Harris? Terry= Would have to be an unknown. Nobody popular springs to my mind but deffinately not Tobey. Need someone more like young Chris O'Donnel. Blight= Maybe, John Malkovich? Barbara Gordan= Maybe Kathleen Turner?

The story would be similar to the cartoon pilot. It would definitely have the Jokerz, and it would have cameos by other characters that would eventually become villains in sequels like Shriek and Spellbinder, but Blight would obviously be the main villain. As for cast: Terry: Tom Welling Dana: Kristen Kreuk Bruce Wayne: Clint Eastwood Blight: Craig T Nelson Barbara Gordon: Glenn Close

Hmm...this brings up many questions. Like would this be set in the future of the "Nolanverse?" I can't see that working. It'd most likely be a new movieverse, similar to the DCAU, but live action, of course. I'd have the film's beginning be Bruce's final Batman adventure, which would be a showdown with the Joker, in which Bruce must kill Joker, or else tons of people will die, and he does kill him(not that he'd ever do that in any other story, I just think it'd add much more drama). But after that, he can't live with himself, and quits. This sequence would be 65-ish Bruce in the Beyond-style costume. I think of Joker as ageless, so he'd be basically the same as he was when Bruce was young. 20 years later, Gotham has gone to hell without Bruce, and he can hardly stand his guilt, both over killing Joker, and over abandoning Gotham. After this, the events of Rebirth take place, i.e. Terry meeting Bruce, then Terry's dad being killed(I'd have him shot directly by Powers, but it would be covered up so well people would think it was the Jokerz or some other criminal). Terry would find the Batcave, steal the suit, go out in it to get justice, and the rest of Rebirth. After Powers is transformed because of Terry, He would start doing horrible things as the mysterious Blight, and throughout the rest of the movie, Terry and Bruce would have to deduce that Blight is Powers. Then Terry has a showdown with Blight, defeats him, refuses to kill him, and then Blight dies due to cellular meltdown or something. Bruce then sees that Terry is worthy of being Batman, since he refused to kill his foe, something even Bruce eventually did, and Bruce officially takes Terry in as the new Batman(he also thinks of being Terry's mentor as a way to atone for his crime of killing Joker). That would be my ultimate Batman Beyond film. As for who to cast, I really do not have a clue. ;D

I see Sean Connery as Bruce, except for that pesky brogue.
On the Ed Harris front, I think he's too young to be Bruce. I will say this though: After seeing his half-scarred face in A History of Violence, he'd make a great Two-Face.

Ok, I got it.
The first hour, we have Rebirth with Terry becoming Batman and taking on Powers's assisstant, Mr. Fixx. And Powers becomes Blight, and goes into hiding, like Harvey Dent in the Long Halloween after his accident.
Blight wouldn't be the only villain though. He would hire new villains of Gotham: Inque, Spellbinder, and Shriek. Blight's plan is to infect all of Gotham with the same chemical that turned into what he is. He has each villain plant a bomb in three corners of Gotham, Batman battle each of them one at a time, sequentially. Terry is worn out and wants to get home, but Blight then puts the center bomb on top of Wayne Tower. Blight beats Batman with ease and throws him off the building. Terry passes out while falling, but luckly the new Batmobile shows up and saves Terry seconds before he hits the ground.
Terry later heals and goes to find the villains. During Gotham's 250 anniversry parade, Blight puts his plan into action. Terry and Bruce figure this out in time, and try to take out the bombs, but have little time. Bruce analyzes that the center bomb controls the other 3, so if they take out the center, the rest will fall. Terry gets there to stop the bomb, but it's well guarded by Inque, Spellbinder,and Shriek. Knowing what to expect now, he freezes Inque with the freeze gun, uses sonar lens to blind out Spellbinder's flash orbs and take him down and finally just throwing a batarang into Shriek's sound wave gloves.
And then there was Blight. After Terry blows up the bomb with a Batarang bomb, Blight no longer holds back and him and Terry do battle all over town, and eventually removes the mask. The battle leads to a nuclear submarine and locks Blight into it and sinks the ship.
Commisioner Barbara Gordon decides to bring out the batsingnal, but after she gets it to the roof, a batarang shatters it. Gordon looks over and sees Batman. Batman then says that there's a new Batman now, and there are new rules. And takes off diving off the roof.
For the next movie, I was thinking about revisiting the past with the return of Freeze, Bane, and an old enemy that's holding all the cards.

Great Beyond story Batfan. I would like it better if there were more backstory on one of the subsidiary villains. An emotional upgrade would help too. Rather than Terry is just fighting to fight, flash back to what motivates him. If you don't know what motivates him, then make something up. A cool twist would be if Dana had become deaf from a blast of Shriek's sound waves.
The batsignal part was really cool. What would they use as a replacement?

I haven't really thought of a side story yet, but I'll think of one. I wouldn't have Shriek make Dana deaf though. And they never really had the batsingnal on Batman Beyond. I just had my biggest idea yet. For the second movie, it would be Return of The Joker, but I don't think I would use the whole Tim Drake thing, unless you want that. But I thought at the end of BB2, Batman would be going to a building that had been broken into, and he would leave the Batmobile running outside as he went to check it out. Turns out there's a bomb in there and it goes off. Terry would fall out and hit the ground with the suit completely damaged, and if it didn't get worse, the Batmobile falls right on top of him and makes hole that leads into the sewer. TO BE CONTINUED.... BATMAN BEYOND III: EPILOGUE It's a month later after the Batman's supposed death. It turns out that Terry was saved and healed by that little kid from the one episode where Terry goes missing. Anyway, Terry comes out of the sewer and finds Gotham in a mess. GCPD is after Terry, but he gets away, but has more trouble when he runs into the Golem. He gets away from that and heads to the Manor, which is in ruins. Terry enters the Batcave to find Bruce in a wheel chair with a broken leg. Bruce tells him that Blight had returned and taken over Gotham after he set off the bomb that was supposed to take out Terry. It is unknown what happened to his family, Dana, or Max. Terry repairs the suit and goes after Blight but is well protected by the Hunter and Golem. Terry manages to escape by ditching the suit. He realizes that he needs more power to bring down Blight and save Gotham. Him and Bruce create a new suit(which I would hide from the public until the release date). Before Terry goes, Bruce tells him about everything that happende in Epilogue. Terry saves Gotham, takes down Golem and Hunter, and finally brings down Blight once and for all. For further sequels, I'm not sure about that. But you would love the new suit Terry gets, little hint, it's kind of like the AzBats suit.

This is mine.
Bruce Wayne/ (old) Batman................... Clint Eastwood Terry McGinnuess/ (new) Batman............ Rino Romano Barbara Gordon.............................. Glenn Close (older) Joker........................................ Paul Bettany Alfred............................................... Micheal Gough Ms. McGuinness............................ ? Terry's brother (who's name i forgot) ............ That kid from Big Daddy Batgirl/ Young Barbara Gordon....... Dina Meyer Harley Quinn........ Mia Sara Tim Drake/ Robin....................... ? Haley Joel Osmet Bruce Wayne/ (Younger flashback Batman).... Christian Bale Derik Powers.......... Liev Shrieber (younger/ Flashbacks) Joker..................... Johnny Depp Dana....... Ashley Scott
My version would combign the "REBORN" storyline & intertwine it with ROTJ. Also included would be the demise of Alfred, & not soon after Robin dissapears, etc.

My Beyond story would have two separate story lines. The first is loosely a DKR, where Bruce comes out of his semi-retirement to do save his city. The second is the beginning of Terry's adventure of being the new Batman. I am assuming that this is for Begins, so I would have the villain for Bruce be KGBeast. Terry's main villain would be Blight. Secondary villains for Bruce could be Hush and Catwoman; Terry would have Inque.
Bruce: Robert De Niro Terry: Jake Gyllenhal Blight: Luke Wilson KGBeast: Sylvester Stallone Hush: Adam West Catwoman: Famke Janssen Inque: Natalie Portman
Now all I have to do is take the time to write this out.
